The story behind this image

Still on the beach at Talacre, this is one of my favourite shots from this location due to the dramatic lighting and simple, sillhouetted composition.

Taking the photo was easy, I simply lined up the sun so that it was behind the lighthouse and exposed for the sky.

Cropping to a square format later removed some distracting elements from the scene and gave the lighthouse 'centre stage' in the image.
